we just finished useing this method on my ds. he is 41/2 and refused to even sit on the potty a year ago. through out this past yr we had just been sitting him on the potty and hopeing that something would click. i got so frustrated i was just looking around the net and found the lora method. we did it when my dh had a 3 day wknd and i was off for 2 of the days. it worked wonderfully. by the second day my ds was asking to go potty and had no accidents. by the 3rd day he really knew. i was amazed that it worked so well. i had been reading every book....doing everything i thought would work and bam this did. we have been pull up free for 3 weeks now. he also has not had any accidents in the bed either(knock on wood) he gets up in the morning and does his business just like me. he has done so well that we are giving him a bowling party tom.

good luck. as long as u follow every step of this method to a t u should be able to do it.

We did this method and I highly recommend it!! My son was 29 months old at the time. We had 20 pairs of underwear and went for it. From 8 am to noon that day we went through 15 pairs! I was not feeling good. He took a nap, woke up dry (he was waking dry nap and nights for months). Now its like 3pm and boom another accident, but we stick to it. All of a sudden about dinner time he says "mommy I have to go peepee and goes on the potty. I was shocked. I put him to bed in just underwear and he was dry, all of a sudden at 1am he calls me to go potty!!! I am telling you I was shocked. He woke up dry the next morning

2nd day he had only 4 accidents.....3 day he had only 1

I had a 4th day off so I decided to take him to TRU for a prize for doing so good. He was dry all day and night,

He went back to daycare and has been wonderful since (6 months trained)

We of course hae had some accidents but ery few, he only had an accident at night twice. At this point and probably about the last 2 months I don't even ask him if he has to go anymore because he has not had an accident in forever although he is required to go potty before we leave the house even if outside to play and before bed and bath.

I highly receommend spending the money on her plan. I will not lie it is exhausting for those 3 days but they definitely are trained from it

I'm copying a post I put on here a couple of weeks back on the 3 day method; in sum I'm a huge fan but you have to follow it exactly.

Hi all,

I'm not a poster but I wanted to pass along our toilet training success as I was very stressed about going through this with our first child. Our DD just turned 2 1/2 years old and we decided about a month ago to toilet train her. After doing some research, we used Lori Jensen's 3 day potty training method (you can download the book from her website for $24). I have to say it really works BUT you MUST stick to her process 100%. It is really time consuming bc you basically can't leave your child's side for 3 days. I was really worried about accidents during her nap and at night bc she always woke up with a soaked diaper, but from the first nap she hasn't had an accident while sleeping! I do go in and put her on the potty before I go to bed around 10pm which really isn't a big deal, she will just pee and never really wakes up.

I have to stress for those of you who are interested in this method 1) you need to follow it to the letter bc it's critical you don't miss accidents, the key is to see the accident while it's happening and rush them to the potty, 2) it really doesn't click for the vast majority of kids until late day 3 so you can't get discouraged and 3) if you have other kids (we have a 4 month old) you'll need help bc you have to focus on this 100%. My husband took over all care for our baby and I never left our DD's side.

What I really like about the approach is that if you can suck it up for 3 days and realize you won't be leaving the house or doing anything other than staring at your child and asking them (literally) every two minutes to "remind mommy when you need to go potty", your child will be potty trained. I have so many friends who have endured months of potty training, accidents etc and with this method they are totally trained. And it works for both pooh and pee which I know is a concern for some. I would say that I didn't relax until day 6 which was when she really got it. It definately clicked day 3 but I was still pretty vigiliant after that bc I was worried. But Christmas eve I was cooking in the kitchen and she walked up to me and send she needed to go potty. A few times she would run to the potty and I know she needed to pooh and she would try but run off. I just kept saying to her "remember you have to go pooh in the potty, not in your pants" in a really positive way and literally followed her around, within a minute or two she would run back to the potty and take care of things. There will be some accidents, but that's part of the process. We are now 2.5 weeks post training and there hasn't been an accident in a week.

We have had just a few accidents and no problem going to the mall, etc. I really can't endorse this approach enough, IF you are willing to sign on 100%. It's also nice bc it's a totally positive approach, there's no "scolding" or "reprimanding" just praise, praise praise.

we just did this this past weekend. Our DD is 2.5 and had no interest in the potty and had never gone. By day 3 (yesterday) she was fully trained for pee! We are having an issue with poop, though, she held it the whole 3 days (I think because she likes to go in private and I wouldn't leave her side for 3 days) but finally went in her pants after some prune juice. I tried to get her to finish on the potty but she screams and cries and then won't even go near the toilet for a while. Anyway, what I love about it is that you can email her questions and she gets right back to you-the same day! It's awesome.
